Finally cleaned the bike and pipes. They looked rusty and yellow like the first pic.

and I installed the SW-MOTECH Aluminum Engine Guard Skid Plate.

Thanks for the replies gentlemen but I really just wanted to use the simple/small one included with the bike as a hook, I do not really need a long cable or any security.
By the way, this is my first Yamaha street bike and it rocks! I could not be happier with the New Tracer.  Coming off of a old but fast ( for its age ) Kawasaki 900 Eliminator which only like going straight albeit, quickly.

I kind of understand your feeling as I had the same one until I found my cable. It took me quite a while to find it after I got everything out of the tool set  and under the seat. only at this point, I was disappointed enough to put everything back as if I didn't see it in the first place. 😉 

I placed my order for my new seat with Terry !   

I currently have the Sargent seat which is "good" but I can see the difference from the Terry's seat. I ride through cold days so I asked Debbie to keep my heating sheets installed.

looking forward to get my new seat by coming season ( April ) !

Just picked up new bike and it was missing the tool kit, went to dealer and he pull one from the back. Needless to say it was missing the helmet lock cable. Does anyone have one that they do not need?

The cable that comes with it is almost useless. I am using one from Amazon

I am not sure about the dealership trade value but the prices on kijiji for what you are saying are way higher than this.

You can sell it on kijiji with or without accessories.

Someone already asked about it on the forum 🙂

I thought this was a FJ-09 Tracer forum, not a Harley forum.  🙄

I see your point. FJ/tracer is a unique though. Some customize and ride their FJ as an adventure, some use it as touring and commute while some use it as sports bike. You don't care if its clean if you ride as adventure. I ride and customize my bike as touring. I should have changed the title and add "not for adventure folks" 😜

Just ride the bike instead as from the seated position you can't see the pipes! 😁

It sounds like a good idea 😉

I am not selling any time soon. I will clean it once when the autosol arrives just to feel that I can do it later if I need to. 😁

I used a bleach based gel called Harpic Power Plus. I’m sure you’ll have something similar

I found it on Amazon. I ordered the Autosol already. I will try it first and post pictures of the results. Your pics look awesome though.

I ordered it online. I will try it and upload some pics.👌

Tubes started to be yellowish and I hate the look.

What's the best way to clean them?

It Protects the bags and your legs in case you dropped it. I would buy it for sure. I know I will drop my bike.......again 😂

Found a video of the bike that shows the mounts for the bars, looks simple for a fabricator.

Do you think Higdonian can do it?

Bars are on the police version, parts from Japan. Quoted 3k for the setup in Australia.

What?  3k ?  Cheaper to swap the cases after each fall 😀

I am curious to see it, can you share a link ?

I'm trying to find someone that has either bought or built a set of crash bars for the FJ09 to protect the saddle bags in case of a minor drop,

 

ANYBODY????

Fjr has it but I am not sure if there is any for the fj

Good choice man. I think I know your bike from the group here. This is a well equipped one and in a very good shape. Enjoy 🙂

I am ridding a fast red one too.😉

Finally beaked it, but first gave it a body colour.

 I think I will do it on the Red  

Just finished installing the r&g radiator guard. I thought it will be 90 minutes job but it took me two days😂

the radiator guard is not optimized for the fj. I had to do my modifications to get the side holders for the fairings installed. it wasn't a hard job but it looks easier than what it was. 

Just wanted to give a heads-up that you will need drilling on both sides if you want to install this model on the FJ. 

Let me know if you think it was worth it 

Welcome to the forum. We have few riders here from the GTA and I am from Toronto. C u on the road then 🙂

My friends in the north that want to go out ride while its still cold, this one is for you

I added it manually under the stock seat and re-stabled the leather cover again.

I ran the wires from the side cover to the front and fixed the key next to my right hand.

I installed a relay under the seat and I got the signal from the rear light wire so its enabled only with the IGN on ..

Oil and filter and some adjustments .....nothing interesting to show on an oil change but I thought you might be interested to know that the oil change kit will fit in the side case

more updates to come ......

Do you know or are you aware if by any chance this will fit the 2019 Tracer900?

I am not sure, they should be the same but the ad is saying 2015,16 and 17.

You can buy it if you like it and I can buy it from you if it doesn't fit yours. This is a serious offer because I am hesitant to buy it but I kind of like it.

This is less than $50 USD here

I haven't bought this one yet but I got few other stuff and they all arrived with no issues.......so far

LED's from eBay, 96 watts total, with a spread for going around corners.

This is a good idea.... I think I will do it too. I wanted to ask you about the 2 circular ones next to your windscreen, are these the Yamaha ones? 

I had handguards with lights on my previous bike and I found that Cars saw me even in rainy days when I had the handguard lights on because it's high and noticable. I would do the same light you have next to the windscreen but wanted to know your feedback. And closer pics 😉
